If you found this video informative, please leave a like and sub. Should we make a basic troubleshooting video for a Macbook Logicboard? Let us know!

Try to secure the board in one place and just point. It's very distracting when you move the board all over.

Good information about what to check but so fast on the speech and pointing around the board it is too difficult to follow. Zooming in on the areas of the MOSFETs you're probing would be helpful. You're clearly an expert at knowing what should be showing up, and where, but your audience is not. Which is why we arrived at your video looking for help.

Good morning, sorry to bother you, but I have seen that you are an electronics specialist and I was wondering if you could give me some solution. I have a Sindoh 3D 3DWOX 3D printer and when I inserted a USB flash drive to update the firmware, there was a power outage. Now only the Sindoh presentation screen is displayed and the image is frozen there. I have disconnected the printer from the power and even removed the internal battery from the motherboard but it remains the same. There is no way it does anything. It has been left frozen. I'm afraid the firmware has become corrupt. I have observed that the motherboard has some jumpers, I don't know if any of them have any use. Can you help me please? Any suggestions to force flashing the firmware? How can I find out which chip on the printer's motherboard is the EEPROM? Thank you very much in advance.

Thank you this really gave me a bigger understanding of how motherboards are powered.

[dzabakwesi]

Thanks for the knowledge. Where can i get the full video?

[ryjk]

Nice video, just you need to shake the board more vigorously so we can see it better without vomiting:).

when i plug my motherboard to electricity it start to do "ticking" sounds, I cant find out where is it coming from. Do you know what could be the problem? My notebook died middle of a game.

[levifigs]

What are the settings you use on the multimeter for testing power

[anuragnayak]

I have an ESP32 WROOM board and my power led got shorted and fused... I am not able to troubleshoot the problem... Can you give any ideas?

[jacintachristiansen]

I have a game system PBC and when I plug the power supply to the wall outlet I have electricity in the power supply wire, as soon I connect it to the PBC there is no more power in the wire. why is that?? Thanks in advance and great video

Bruh, the beginning got me so discouraged until your broke the ice 😂 I was bout to say screw it

[paranoidgenius]

I've done a custom protection upgrade on a motherboard that will protect against capacitor leakage that can knacker motherboard tracers.
I made myself a guard made from Polypropylene.
I hot pin pricked plastic plates to go under the capacitors isolating it from the motherboard so if the capacitors leak, the acid falls onto the plastic instead of the motherboard.
To fit the carefully engineered plastic plates, I lined up & stuck the plastic pieces to the motherboard & threaded the new capacitors through it & the motherboard, & soldered. No acid will touch the motherboard now if the capacitors blow.

How do know if the parts are exactly 💯 working do have an app in your comp to know all are working exact input and output is okey

[mandymae]

So is this symptomatic of a bad wire harnesses? Or a bad soldiering job?

[TobiasSample]

This looks like some great info, but I also feel a bit car sick now :(

[freshmeatpopsicle]

subscribed in the first minute.
i dont even care if this is what im looking for.

[moonshine]

you forgot to tell us which dial you set the mulitmeter too? it would help?
